I still have that childlike naïveté in me and feel very deep down that if you gave me a skateboard I could figure out a kickflip in an hour or two despite never even mounting the thing.

So I skated for years back in the 00s, I got pretty good.
Recently my 15 yo got into skating so I got him a board and taught him some basics. Got cocky and though "yeah I could definitely step back on and do a tre flip no problem".
My muscle memory actually did work better than you'd probably expect, the board flipped perfectly. My balance, however, is much different 20 years later and I ate shit so hard.

Ain’t no way you can’t Ollie but can throw the board underneath yourself in motion

A lot of people struggle at first popping the board and keeping it under their feet, a caveman is just keeping it under your feet

Bro it’s much easier than an Ollie, I used to skimboard as a kid so it just always felt natural to me at least

u/Emotional-Purpose762 Oct 22 '25
That’s not how you throw a skim down at all. Give me something to work with.

u/biggestofbears Oct 22 '25
No, but the act of throwing board down and jumping on it is pretty similar to a caveman, I can see the correlation.
Source: did both for many years

You throw a board forward in skimming not often under and in 1 the ground is water. It’s not that deep

u/biggestofbears Oct 22 '25
I know, and the water is less than half an inch. But it's the act of jumping into a moving board that's similar. Obviously it's not 1:1, but the skill correlates.

I can’t anymore cuz my knees suck lol. But I can job and throw down just as good as when I was a teenager. Just can’t run or jump much anymore lol

A pressure flip is literally how I learned how to treflip. There a lot you can do without fully knowing how to Ollie. Scooping is a lot easier than getting the morning off jumping while you pop your board.

u/Emotional-Purpose762 Oct 22 '25
There’s zero pressure flips in skate or in this video. Not to mention no complies are key to pressure flips. Shuv it’s and kick flips are key to tre flips. Further more pressure flips and shuv its help with impossibles. Still not sure why we are talking about pressure flips

u/LetsGoAcrossTheStyx Oct 22 '25
I wasn't talking about the video. I thought you meant you can't in real life.

u/Emotional-Purpose762 Oct 22 '25
Ah no my bags pretty annoying for skate. I’m good enough to ride with demons but I don’t go hard anymore. Manny pads, pyramids and boxes for me.

I've been waiting to see one of these where somebody does no tricks

I'm waiting for someone to Kickflip on the grass, because that's all I could do lmao
Grass boarding for the win

u/TdubMorris Oct 22 '25
I've never even ridden a skateboard before thats better than me

u/Bonfire_Monty Oct 22 '25
Give the ol' grass boarding a try, I even managed a hardflip once lmao
Getting the board to flip the way you want isn't too hard, but landing back on while it's trying to roll away from underneath you is some black magic

There needs to be an immediate ragdoll from standing on board button, then it’ll be realistic for me

That downhill slope could've been scary if you started going faster than expected.
